I had the opportunity this last November to shoot Chris and Caitlyn's engagement portraits. I really enjoyed doing an engagement shoot because there were only two people I had to worry about posing and so we could be more creative. Also, since they liked each other, we could do more intimate poses.
This was my second effort at family portraiture. There were something like 26 people there (I suppose I could count in the pirctures to make sure) and it was a fun challenge to get everyone's attention (at the same time). This day was also a challenge due to very harsh sunlight, but I was able to learn a lot and I couldn't have asked for a better family to work with.
The Heeringas were the first family for whom I had the opportunity to create portraits, and what a way to begin! It was a perfect day for photography, and their energetic kids provided plenty of opportunities for fun candid shots.
